- Alternative Dispute Resolution
Alec Wisner has a rare gift for facilitating positive communication between even the most contentious parties and an ability to provide clients with a clear understanding of complex underlying issues.
Since forming Wisner Dispute Resolution Services in Tarzana, California, in 2003, Alec has been using his unique and diverse background to help hundreds of clients successfully resolve disputes through mediation. While he has had particularly extensive training, experience and success with disputes involving commercial law, contracts and closely held corporations or family-owned businesses, Alec also mediates disputes involving virtually all areas of the law, including real estate, torts and insurance law.
In 2013, Alec joined the panel of distinguished neutrals at the Agency for Dispute Resolution in Beverly Hills. In doing this, Alec can marshal a strong, nationwide support network in addition to his own resources.
Alec brings a rich and diverse background to his mediation practice. From 1975 through 1978, he developed his legal skills in the areas of family and commercial law. In 1978, he entered the world of corporate business, where he managed the growth of several medium-size corporations and was personally responsible for several new, successful enterprises. In 1996, he returned to the full-time practice of law, focusing on complex civil litigation, class actions and family law.
Finally, Alec is a founding member of Mediators Beyond Borders, an international group involved in peacemaking overseas.
